- archery, and is characterized by the fact that every thought is purely religious evidence - hadiths

and narratives. The work is small in size, and the author emphasizes how good it is to shoot an

arrow.

The brochure contains several hadiths and narratives, which are as follows:

When Adam was chased away from Paradise into the earth by the devil’s tricks, he was a farmer by

the command of Allah - sowing wheat. But when the ravens start digging and sowing wheat, they

address to Allah.Then Allah will send a bow and an arrow. The angel Gabriel teaches man to shoot

from the bow. Adam does not touch the first arrow that he threw at the Crows, the angel Gabriel

smiles, the second arrow that he threw touches the target, so Gabriel says that he put his smile: “if

the first arrow hit the target, nothing would have escaped from the hands of the children until the

last day”. Navai then concludes that the shooting was a blessing of Allah, a miracle of Adam Safi.

The Prophet Muhammad emphasizes much of the virtue of the bow. The Companions asked how

much the reward for shooting from the bow was. The prophet replied: "If I say the reward of the

bow, the people will abandon their livelihoods and will shoot at the bow. The reward for an hour of

arrow-shooting is equal to the reward of fifty years of worship. If anyone arrows, Allah will give him

the reward of the heavenly ones, If the arrow hits the target, it will open the door to heaven and

give it a scrap”.

It can be seen that Navai gives the main emphasis on how well the arrow from the bow is one of the

good deeds. Of course, this is not for nothing, because in the Middle Ages the protection of the land

was provided by the dedication and courage of the soldiers, as well as the ability to skillfully use

direct weapons, especially the bow. This work has convinced young men who are defending their

homeland that their work is a well-liked and well-prefered act by God and the prophet.

In the work of Alisher Navai “Nasoyimul-muhabbat min shamoyimul-futuv-vat” (“Javonmardlik

bog’idan esgan muhabbat nasimlari”), scientists of the X-XI century, based on Abdulloh Ansoriy’s

works “Risalai nur”, Abul-Hasan Hujviriy’s “Kashful-makhjoob”, Abdurahmon Jamiy’s “Nafahot ul-

uns” (“Breath of friendship”), define the theoretical foundations of the philosophy of Sufism.

At the beginning of the book, Navai had written his book before writing this book, which inspired

his master Jami to write such a book, helped him to compose it, and twenty years later he began to

translate Jami’s work from Persian into Turkic, but it is no longer a simple translation, but says that

it has found and enriched the information of many Persian, Indian and Turkic saints, who are in fact

insufficient, whose names and activities are not mentioned. [4.265]

Most importantly, in the preface to the work of Navai “Nasoyim-ul-mukhabbat”, the Sufi people, the

original Sufis at the level of Saints, indicate that in all spheres there are mature, perfect people,

owners of knowledge and enlightenment, who are followers of the Prophet Muhammad. These

scholars urge the rulers of the country, the kings and ministers to do justice in their own country

and society, to eradicate the spirit of the people, to become highly educated and enlightened.

The difference between mysticism and other ethical, social, and philosophical doctrines is that it is

inseparable, inintegral, between theory and practice. If the Sufi, The Scientist, the orif does not

follow what he knows, he will fall into the ranks of the hypocrites. In order to avoid such a disorder,

the future Sufi (suluk tolibi, solik) must, under the guidance of his master, cleanse his soul and his

soul from many defects, undergo math, hardships, tests and exams.

Although the door of Prophethood was closed after the Prophet Muhammad, the believers could

attain the status of patronage of Allah, with pure faith and piety, because “scholars are the heirs of

the prophets”, all of whom are fixed in Allah’s way, they will say that they will guide the people on

the right path.
